Photo gallery: Disney’s new ship launched

It might be a small world after all, but Disney’s newest cruise ship is a super-sized in most of the ways that matter, including in entertainment — not exactly a stretch for the best-know entertainment company on the planet. It would seem that, because Disney Cruise Line last put a new ship in the water more than a decade ago, the company is trying to make up for lost time.

Here are a few photos from a preview tour of the ship, which begins short Bahamas cruises around the end of the month.
